Quite new to crocheting but thought it'd make a nice gift for mum if i made something for her.

She liked the octopus i made but i thought id make her a lion as shes a leo

 

this was my octopus:

I was quite impressed with how it turned out, apart from maybe the letters, looks like a 6year olds attempted im my opinion and im nearly 20 =P

Oh I love them both! Did you use the Amigurumi method of making them? Crochet in the round (spiral). I'm busy doing crochet at the moment for Amigurumi, but I got stuck on decreasing. I'll have to study my book again.

Yes i did, though sewing all the lion pieces together im sure took longer than the crocheting

Decreasing is actually quite easy though confusing at first

has both left and right handed tutorials and they are wonderful. I couldnt learn anything from books, made it far too complex and being left handed made it awkward, learnt in a day(well, actually it was a night but a whole night) watching these =D
